Screening was performed on edible natural sources to examine superoxide radical scavenging activities by using the method of superoxide dismutase assay. Among 47 kinds of samples, the extract of Capsella bursa-pastoris showed a potent superoxide radical scavenging activity of 11.6 unit / mg solid and was selected for further studies. In order to select optimal extraction solvent system, Cappella bursa-pastoris was extracted with various solvents and the electron donating abilities and inhibitory effects on lipid peroxidation of linoleic acid were measured. Among them, the ethanol extract of Capsella bursa-pastoris possessed the highest level of activities. The ethanol extract of Cappella bursa-pastoris was found to have an inhibitory effect on autoxidation of soybean oil at 5$0^{\circ}C$ from peroxide value, conjugated diene value and refractive index. In the soybean oil containing 0.2% of ethanol extract, induction period was increased 2 times in comparison with control.

The manufacturing method of permalloy soft magnet with the Ni contents of 46.6 and 47.2 wt% was investigated by powder injection molding technology. The magnetic properties of permalloy were greatly affected on the residual carbon and oxygen content of the sintered magnet. Solvent extraction and thermal debinding process to minimize the residual carbon content in sintered magnet were developed by controlling the debinding atmosphere. The residual carbon content depends on the debinding condition of the binder system for powder injection molding and the residual oxygen content on the sintering atmosphere. The sintered magnet produced by powder injection molding process had a 50 ppm. residual carbon, 150 ppm. residual oxygen. The coercivity and maximum relative permeability of permalloy soft magnet were 0.46 Oe and 14,600 respectively.

High-performance liquid chromatographic method with UV detecction was developed for the determination of theophylline and its metabolites in human urine using ${beta}$-hydroxyethyl theophylline$({beta} -HET)$ as an internal standard. For extraction of urine sample, quality control sample and xanthine-free blank urine were mixed with decylamine (ion-paring reagent) and ${beta}$-HET. After saturation with ammonium sulfate, the mixture was then extracted with organic solvent at pH values of 4.0-4.5. All separations were performed with ion-pair chromatography using decylamine as an ion-pairing reagent and 3mM sodium acetate buffered mobile phase (pH 4.0) containing 1% (v/v) acetonitrile and 0.75 mM decylamine. The detection limits of theophylline, 1, 3-DMU, 1-MU, 3-MX and 1-MX in human urine were 0.17, 0.17, 0.39, 0.19 and 0.19 ${\mu}g$/ml, based on a signal-to-noise ratios of 3.0. The mean intraday coefficients of variation (C.V.s) of each compound on nine replicates were lower than 2.0%, while mean interday C.V.s on three days were lower than 1.6%.

As a practical method to produce the carbonaceous binder, the destructive distillation of coal tar has been studied. The optimum condition on binder in various temp. and cutting time were examined and the compositions of pitch were also examined in connection with ${\alpha},\;{\beta}\;and\;{\gamma}$ by solvent extraction. Coke powder was mixed with binder as treated pitch in the proportions of 77% of coke to 23% of pitch, to give a plastic mix which could then be pressed into molding. The properties of baked body after molding was tested. It was found that cutting of the coal tar at 350${\circ}C$, for 30 min., at 300${\circ}C$. for 1 hr., and at 250${\circ}C$. for 8 hrs. were good condition. Particularly, we found that the cutting of the coal tar obtained by destructive distillation at high temp. and in minimum period of time had shown the best condition for utilization of carbonaceous pitch as binder. The above mentioned cutting condition results in good quality of pitch which is available to be used as binder in carbon industry.

Streptomyces albidoflavus C247 was isolated from the soil of the Gyeongsan golf course in Korea. Physiological, biochemical and 16S rDNA gene sequence analysis strongly suggested that the isolate belonged to Streptomyces albidoflavus. Preliminary screening revealed that the isolate was active against fungi and bacteria. Self-directing optimization was employed to determine the best combination of parameters such as carbon and nitrogen source, pH and temperature. Nutritional and culture conditions for the production of antibiotics by this organism under shake-flask conditions were also optimized. Maltose (5%) and soytone (5%) were found to be the best carbon and nitrogen sources for the production of antibiotics by S. albidoflavus C247. Additionally, 62.89% mycelial growth inhibition was achieved when the organism was cultured at $30^{\circ}C$ and pH 6.5. Ethyl acetate (EtOAc) was the best extraction solvent for the isolation of the antibiotics, and 100 ${mu}$/ml of EtOAc extract was found to inhibit 60.27% of the mycelial growth of Rhizoctonia solani AG2-2(IV) when the poison plate diffusion method was conducted.

Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) has gained widespread acceptance in sample pretreatment due to its solvent-free and easy-to-operate properties. SPME fibers are considered as a key part of SPME technique, since it primarily determines the extraction performance of the method including sensitivity, selectivity, and reproducibility. Generally speaking, target analyte with different chemical property requires fiber coating that has the best affinity towards it. Due to the lack of varieties of commercial fibers available currently, considerable efforts have been recently made to develop tailor-made fibers to fulfill increasing demands of different analysis. This paper concisely classify some SPME fiber preparation approaches such as sol-gel technology, physical deposition, molecularly imprinted technique, and their respective application in food safety analysis.

New technology-driven biocatalysts are revolutionizing the biochemical industries. With maximum utilization of renewable feedstock, biocatalysts have been the basis for a major breakthrough. Lipases are the most widely established catalysts used for hydrolysis, esterification and transesterification reactions. In this research, a biochemical process that combines extraction of lipase enzyme from germinated wheat seeds and its application to valorize glycerol to acetins by esterification is presented. Acetins are among highly rated, value-added products derived from glycerol. The favorable conditions for the enzymatic conversion of glycerol were observed as glycerol to acetic acid molar ratio (1:5), reaction temperature ($40^{\circ}C$) and the amount of enzyme (20% v/v). 65.93% of glycerol conversion was achieved for duration of 15 h with the use of tert-butanol solvent. This method proposes to explore the viability of a biological route to convert glycerol derived from biodiesel industry to acetins with further streamlining.
